About Charged Studio
A studio built around your business.
Charged is a small, founder-led web studio in Exeter. You work directly with the person designing and building your site, no account managers, no hand-offs, no jargon.
Charlie
Norona
Founder & Creative Director
When you hire Charged, you get me, the person who'll design your site, build it, and pick up the phone when you need something. Not an account manager, not a junior, not a queue.
I'm a qualified project manager (APM PMQ) as well as a designer, and that combination is the difference you feel. Your project runs to a clear plan with no surprises, and it comes out sharp, fast and built to bring in work. The polish of a creative studio, with the reliability of someone who runs projects for a living.
Most small businesses get two bad options: do it all yourself from scratch, or pay a big agency for a generic product that doesn't fit how you actually work.
Charged exists to close that gap: websites, software and brand systems tailored to your exact goals and budget. We know what it feels like when good tools feel out of reach, so there are very few businesses we turn away.
If you've got the drive to run your own business, you deserve digital that helps you compete, not hold you back.
What working with us feels like.
Every project runs on a clear process, as organised as it is creative. The hard thinking happens long before the design does, so the whole thing feels effortless from your side.
We get to know you
Before a pixel moves, we get inside your business (your customers, your goals, how you actually win work), so what we build fits you, not a template.
You get a clear plan
A scope, timeline and milestones agreed up front. You always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs. No surprises, ever.
You stay in control
We design and build sharp, fast, on-brand work with regular check-ins, and nothing is signed off until you're genuinely happy with it.
We look after it
We go live, then stick around: hosting, updates, support, and reporting that tells you in plain English what the site is doing. It keeps earning long after launch, and you never touch a thing.
Why businesses pick us.
You're never passed between departments
You work directly with me, Charlie, from our first conversation to launch, and long after your site goes live. No account managers, no junior hand-offs, no support queue. The person answering your emails is the one who designed and built your site.
Your project won't drift for months
Most builds stall because nobody's actually running them. Every Charged project is managed to a clear scope, timeline and milestones by a qualified project manager (APM PMQ), so it lands when we said it would, without the silence and the slipped deadlines.
Your site has a job to do
A site that looks nice but brings in nothing is a cost, not an asset. Yours is built fast, built to be found, and built to turn local searches into real enquiries, judged by the work it wins, not by how it looks in a showreel.
We answer to you, not a head office
Based in Exeter, working across Devon and the South West: close enough to meet, small enough to care. You're not account number four thousand in a national pipeline; your growth is how a studio this size actually grows.
“They understood our vision from day one and turned it into a professional, intuitive platform that our people love. Their attention to detail, communication, and genuine care for our project made the whole process effortless.”
